If they are 7+40 vs 9.5+12 you will have 4mm less inner clearence and extend out wards by 60mm

Shit.

This means on the rears on 18x9.5 +12 I would need to run maby a 15m spacer. That's not cool.

Surely sonething is not right here.

Has anyone else ran these specs on an rs4s

From this thread they seemed to be ideal specs...

This is what I'm getting with stock R34gtt wheels

You can see where it touches. Mainly going up a driveway on an angle when there is flex.

I'm assuming the specs for the R34gtt wheels are right. I got them from the skyline wheel specks thread, I will check the wheel itself tomorow when it's light.

Anyone else running 18x9.5 +12 on their rs4s who can check their strut clearence?

I thought gtt 34 where 7.5 et 40 which means you will gain 3mm clearance on the inside and a further 53 mm on out so yeah you will have to run spacers inner clearences to strut must be vastly diff on manual hmmm

gaining clearance is good....

gonna use some slipons for the time being...hopefully 8mm will be enough to clear.

it only touches when angeling spoon drains and driveways.

will check the offset when i get the wheels off at work today to confirm their specs

also im sure the lowering has added a little bit of camber which will be sucked out when i fit the new wheels

the kms i do anything other than 0-0 camber is madness

Edited by GH05T

Yeah lowering will add camber, and then with the slip on spacer and new wheels you should have over 12 mm inner clearence ;) will be fine a bit of extra poke out the back won't hurt anyway

ok stamped on the R34 wheels i can confirm is

17X7 JJ +40

so im going to loose a further 4mm clearance from the inside on the new wheels.

hmmm so 18X9.5+12 DO NOT FIT RS4-S stageas

when the new wheels arrive i will need to test fit them without tires and see what is going to need to be done to clear them to my liking and how much outer extension im going to get.

the wheels will naturally add 60mm (from the R34 wheels not stock stag wheels) and im assuming im going to need maby a 15mm hubcentric spacer to properly clear them.

maby less once the wheels lift the car a bit and the camber is taken out.

so spacers, roll the guards 235/40 tires, 0 camber and we should be ok, gonna look fat either way.

a tiny bit worried about the extra strain on the bearings but meh.

amazed that the issue was with the rears on the 4WD seing as i understand they have a narrower subframe (more like the R33gtr?? )

and the fronts are happy as larry.

Edited by GH05T

yeah thats what i have been reading too.

well the truth will come out when they arrive i guessshould be early next week.

im hoping i have missed somethig, mis calculated something misread something, and they fit without further modification but i dont see how.

i cannot imagine the coilovers would make that much of a difference, they may be thicker but their is only so much difference they could make.

Well I'm perplexed jet r31 is running 9.5 + 20 on his auto with Bc coilovers "the rim to coilover should be the same between autos and manuals just the out side diffrent " he has 5to 6mm clearence at I think neg 2 camber so if we look at that you at 9.5+12 should have 8mm more clearence on the inside so a total of 13mm clear and stick out 8mm more but ya got heaps of rm that way :) !!!! Then if I look at me I'm attempting to run a 10+5 so

Just took a pic of mine for you (sorry it's sideways, uploading from phone and it rotated it). As you can see there's quite a bit of clearance with the stock shocks, I'd say a good 15mm. Obviously BC's are thicker though. I'm not sure how much but you can work that out. Mine is as stated earlier s2 rs4s running 18x9.5 +12 with 245 40's.

well wtf is goin on here. i cant work it out.

is their anything that could be different on my model?

1998 Series 2 RS4-S manual 4wd

everything looks stock appart from the BCs, unless my wheels have been tampered with...nah im just pulling at straws now.

i will be VERY interested when the wheels arrive for test fit.

    • People think it's a waste of space, ugly, etc, generally associate "emissions control equipment" with "bad". These OBD1 vacuum-only systems I'm not a huge fan because I think they don't go far enough. They're wasting some of the fuel captured because they start purging as soon as the engine pulls vacuum. Later OBD1/OBD2 they put an electric purge valve on them to vent only when closed loop is active so the ECU will trim some fuel out. Even later OBD2 with zero evaporative loss the tank is 100% sealed from atmosphere until you run the engine or press the refuel door release. The tank has to take much higher vacuum/pressure spec but you never deal with saturating the charcoal canister and losing some fuel that way. The fuel also lasts as long as it would in a 100% airtight container which is nice when you're dealing with modern E10 pump gas.
    • If your luck is anything like mine, what happens is in the process of pulling hoses to get access to the one leak you create many more leaks because every o-ring was on the verge of failing and the strain of pulling it apart caused it to fail. Sometimes life is simple, sometimes you pay twice trying to save once. For the R33 you can still get most AC components from Nissan, I use nissan epc data or amayama to look up the part numbers and then search for the cheapest/most practical way of sourcing from there.
    • The dirty secret is there is nothing recyclable about the plastic bag or old plastic bottles either. Our local trash collection explicitly calls it out as hazmat in both cases. Oil-soaked rags + paper towels too. Oil-soaked cardboard is also not recyclable. The most common case of oil-soaked paper like that is pizza boxes, which are explicitly compost-only from the oil. To my knowledge hazmat oil contaminated plastic the only solution is either landfill or "thermal recycling". Most plastics in my experience there is slow permeation of the oil it's holding into the container so it's very challenging to get it 100% clean.
    • Yes, and since RAA insurance essentially being swallowed up by the same monster that is NRMA insurance and all those other clowns, they are no bloody good now either. We dropped RAA insurance for the house a little while back because they lost the plot.
    • I can tell you now, good luck if you're with NRMA (NSW equiv of vis RACV and QLD RACQ). Because NRMA are freaking horrendous to deal with for claims, even with a normal road car. Not to mention even more BS when they're in the wrong and didn't cancel a policy etc when they were meant to and make you jump through hoops for things.
